Winsted seems to be in "peck" of trouble in regard to locating the Court House, and someone has suggested that commissioners be appointed to locate it for them, but it would be hard work to find three men in the county who would dare to undertake the job, as 1t would be pretty "sure death'' to them, as if they located it in the West Village the Flat and East Street would "kick," and cica versa should they locate it on the Flat or in the East Street. We are not going to attempt to locate it but it would seem that the proper place for the Court House would be at the Town hall which is centrally located and would be the most convenient for every body. The people of Winsted seem to take delight in getting up sectional fight but if they knew how they looked to people outside they would stop this boys play right here and go to work like men and build the Court House where it would accommodate the people of the county best, regardless of the liberal offers of private individuals to build 1t free of expense to the town, back of which will undoubtedly be found some "scheme" for the further ence of private interests to the detriment of the people of the entire county.
